A Temple Trip Among Other Things

This is a pomelo I had for breakfast.

SOOOOO good!

Can you see how big those seeds are?

This is the plate it sat on.

Can you see the plate underneath?

Look hard!!!

This is a very green house.

The dark part is a real deep green and the rest is Aquamarine.

Camellia flowers from our front yard.

This is a different variety of Camellia flower.

I like the variegated colors.

A bowl full of flowers.

You can see how large the blossoms are.

This is a beautiful house and yard.

Let's all take note that Dad wanted pictures of this house so we actually stopped on the road so we could get out and take good pictures.

This is not a hedge!

It is vines growing on the wall.

The yard is very large and beautifully kept.

Not too many homes like this in our area.

Lots of moss on the trees.  We are getting used to the moss now.

This is the house.  Isn't that beautiful?

The sculpting of the little trees by the drive is cute.

The vines on the house are beautifully taken care of.

This is just to the side of the house.  

The vegetation is pretty with lots of colors.

This is looking down to the lake as you look past the house.

This is the back yard.  Notice the beautifully trimmed bushes.

This is just beside the gate to get into the yard.

The light is always lit.  It helps to see at night.

This is all covered in vines.

A look from further on down the wall.

Here there are no vines on the wall.

This house is across the street from one of the churches.

There are lots of old style houses like this here.

A close up shot of the same house.

This is a wood stork.

Can you see the bird sitting on top of the rock?

Did I fool you?

That is not a rock.  Remember there are no rocks here.

The little bird on top is the head and the 'rock' is the body.

Can you find the head in this picture?

It looks tucked in but it's really there.

Look hard.  It is camouflaged.

Another beautiful sky with some 'sun dogs'.

The sun dog is to the right just above the trees.

Do you see it on that bright cloud?

Another picture of that beautiful sun.

This lovely Praying Mantis is on the column just outside the temple.

The actual size of it was about 4 inches.

The Orlando Temple

Looking up to see the Angel Moroni

There are beautiful fountains here at this temple..... and lots of them.

Taken from the back of the temple.

The middle window is a window in the Celestial room.

You can see the chandelier sparkling through the window.

It doesn't show up very well in a picture.

This is a close up of the window.

It is so beautiful in person.

Sister Draper standing outside the temple wall.

We backed up so you could see the temple in full.

It is a very beautiful temple.

It is such a peaceful evening!

Another shot a little further back.  

You can see the fountains on both sides of this picture.

We had a wonderful evening here with the youth of the ward.

We baptized more than a whole ward in heaven tonight.
